Problem fixed with a new BIOS from MSI. I am now running FreeBSD 4.7-RELEASE. On bootup, dmesg includes: CPU: Pentium 4 (1994.13-MHz 686-class CPU) Origin = "GenuineIntel" Id = 0xf24 Stepping = 4 Features=0x3febfbff<FPU,VME,DE,PSE,TSC,MSR,PAE,MCE,CX8,APIC,SEP,MTRR,PGE,MCA, CMOV,PAT,PSE36,CLFLUSH,DTS,ACPI,MMX,FXSR,SSE,SSE2,SS,<b28>,ACC> real memory = 1073741824 (1048576K bytes) avail memory = 1041833984 (1017416K bytes) Programming 24 pins in IOAPIC #0 IOAPIC #0 intpin 2 -> irq 0 Programming 24 pins in IOAPIC #1 Programming 24 pins in IOAPIC #2 FreeBSD/SMP: Multiprocessor motherboard cpu0 (BSP): apic id: 0, version: 0x00050014, at 0xfee00000 cpu1 (AP): apic id: 1, version: 0x00050014, at 0xfee00000 cpu2 (AP): apic id: 2, version: 0x00050014, at 0xfee00000 cpu3 (AP): apic id: 3, version: 0x00050014, at 0xfee00000 io0 (APIC): apic id: 4, version: 0x00178020, at 0xfec00000 io1 (APIC): apic id: 5, version: 0x00178020, at 0xfec80000 io2 (APIC): apic id: 6, version: 0x00178020, at 0xfec80400 There are two Xeon processors with hyperthreading enabled. Should this report as four processors? A shutdown hangs trying to stop processor #3 - is this to be expected? Ray Newman 14 Oct 2002 ---- Original Message Follows ---- The following problem with an MSI E7500 MB with dual 2.0GHZ Xeon processors looks similar to: Problem Report i386/40564 Problem Report misc/42414 Symptoms are - build SMP kernel and boot - output ends at: Changing APIC ID for IO APIC #3 from 7 to 15 in MP table Changing APIC ID for IO APIC #4 from 15 to 8 on chip panic: can't control APIC #4 ID, reg: 0xffffffff mp_lock = 00000001; cpuid = 0; lapic.id = 00000000 The MSI support people suggest the following: > You need to install patch for Unix. > So I would suggest you to look on FreeBSD's website for patch supporting > Intel Plumas chipset. and > Also if the customer is using Xeon with HyperThread function, they may need > to install the patch for that as well. > For the support of Prestonia processors. I have no idea as to what they are refering to... Any suggestions would be appreciated.
